Alright, I need a little help, err rather the quail do.

[Crazyland]

I have two corturnix. One of each.

My male is very into the girl. Also Very, VERY persistent.

She doesn't want any of that. Cuddles is enough for her.

They were in with my little chickens. Yes I know about not mixing them.

Right now she is in with the chicks resting and he is seperated as he just can't keep it down.

He is a wreck from being away from her. Calling to her and pacing in front of the cage.

She is loving the break and paying no attention to his calls.

So what to do?

They are 7-8 weeks old now?

Get a few more girls & let them breed.

 

[Teach97]

more girls...I agree!

Yessir it would appear that you have an acute lack of hens...

 

[Crazyland]

I got these two for free...
From what I understand the lady from saying she was getting rid of them all.
Their outdoor pen is small, very small. I think only 3 would be comfortable in there.
Since it is cold outside, below freezing at night, they are still inside. I also don't have electricity outside.
This is what they get when they move outside.

 

[Teach97]

you could get more than three in there...slowly adjust them to the outside temp and they will be fine

 

[Crazyland]

Alright everyone.

I will search for some youngins nearby.
Thanks. Glad to hear I can fit more than 3 in there. I was worried about crowding if I had more.

I think your cage would definately hold three. Only having one hen the boys go a bit nutty. To save the hen the stress I'd try to get atleast one more hen. I ended up not replacing my boy when he passed away and now just have our one girl "blackie" who is quite tame and a kick to watch. Blackie is a house bird

Your pen will easily accomodate(coturnix) 1 roo and 4 to 6 hens
